Fundraiser will make a ‘splash’

METRO DETROIT — A group of generous boaters are ready to set sail on Lake St. Clair next month for the second annual Splash for the Kids fundraiser.
Eric Lafata, owner of Lafata Auto Body in Roseville, and Chip Miller, owner of Miller Marina in St. Clair Shores, started the fundraiser last year. Through their efforts, they attracted about 200 people on 40 boats and raised $20,000 to benefit the Tennessee Children’s Home headquartered in Spring Hill, Tennessee.
Both Lafata’s dad and Miller’s dad died when they were kids, and they wanted to do something to support children going through the same experience. It was Lafata who found the Tennessee Children’s Home.

crat who represents Eastpointe and Roseville, worked to get these projects included in appropriations for the budget.
“This is an opportunity to invest in some of these aging communities that have struggled for years to deal with their infrastructure,” Klinefelt said. “I’m just excited that this is how we’re choosing to spend the
money: on critical infrastructure, on projects that are really going to be transformative for these communities.”
Eastpointe
Eastpointe will receive $8 million in funding for a building that will house its Police Department and the 38th District Court.

School construction projects continue this summer
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE/ROSEVILLE — The summer has been busy as local school districts undergo building renovations.
Construction work has been ongoing at the four elementary schools in Eastpointe Community Schools. Much of the work is either being funded through the district’s 2019 sinking fund, which generates approximately $1.6 million per year, or through the third installment of Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding known as ESSER III.
At Bellview, Forest Park and Crescentwood, crews are doing prep work to install air conditioning units for the 2025-2026 school year. The three buildings do not currently have air conditioning, and the mechanical work occurring this summer is laying the groundwork to have the units ready for the 2025-2026 school year. The work includes the installation of cabinets where the new heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment will be placed.
Next summer, all the working pieces for the HVAC mechanical units will be installed

EASTPOINTE — As founder of the nonprofit Bettye Harris Foundation, Chineva Early is always trying to help others.
While her work is satisfying with the foundation — named after her mother, Bettye Harris, who died of laryngeal cancer — Early wanted to do even more for the community.
While brainstorming with her daughter, Charnell Dortch, an idea formed to hold a community baby shower for parents in need.
“It was my daughter’s idea to do something for the babies,” Early said. “The babies are where everything starts.”
On July 20, Early — with help from the charities Lift Up A Child and Let Me See Your Hands — organized the second annual Eastpointe Community Baby Shower at Gianna House, located
at 21357 Redmond Ave. Gianna House provides a safe residence for young women — some who are still teenagers — and their newborn infants in need of a temporary place to live.
The baby shower, open to anyone, was a chance for parents and parents-to-be to receive clothing, diapers, baby wipes, sippy cups, bottles, burp cloths, booties, toys, bath kits and more for their children.

Eastpointe police recover stolen vehicles during patrol operation
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE — During a nighttime mission to prevent auto theft and larcenies from vehicles July 19, detectives and undercover agents with the Eastpointe Police Department spotted and recovered two stolen cars, arresting the drivers of each.
At press time, the suspects had not been identified. At least one is a juvenile.
Eastpointe Police Lt. Alexander Holish said they were stopped during a directed patrol operation that was conducted by the Eastpointe Detective Bureau and the Eastpointe Special Investigations Unit. The assignment was focused on preventing vehiclerelated crimes.
Both arrests were made after midnight July 19. The first suspect was spotted by an undercover officer at around 3:15 a.m. driving a 2017 Kia Forte south on Gratiot Avenue from Stephens Road.
Holish said a license plate check showed the vehicle had been reported as stolen, so the officers called in fully marked scout cars equipped with lights and sirens, which attempted to pull over the vehicle on Gratiot Avenue near Nine Mile Road.
Rather than slowing down, the suspect reportedly sped up, leading officers on a chase south on Gratiot Avenue, reaching top speeds of 111 miles per hour. Officers followed for about 2 miles, after which the suspect allegedly tried to enter the StoneCrest Center mental health and psychiatric hospital parking lot, only to find the front gate was locked. Upon exiting the vehicle, the suspect was taken into custody without incident.
The other suspect was encountered at around 4:55 a.m. An undercover officer spotted a 2015 Kia Optima in the area of Eight Mile Road and Shakespeare Avenue. A license plate check confirmed this vehicle was stolen, according to police. The undercover officer observed the vehicle entering a subdivision and driving along side streets in a manner that police said suggested the driver was looking for vehicles to steal.
The undercover officer called in fully marked patrol units, which activated their emergency equipment in an attempt to pull over the suspect. But the driver fled here, as well, police said, leading police on a chase that crossed into Detroit. Holish said that the bulk of the chase took place there, lasting about 23 minutes, reaching speeds of up to

105 miles per hour on interstates 94 and 75. The pursuit finally came to an end when the suspect reportedly pulled onto the eastern curb of Conner Street near I-94. That’s when multiple occupants, along with the driver, reportedly exited the vehicle and tried to run away. Police said they chased
them on foot and were able to apprehend the driver several blocks away once he crossed the pedestrian bridge of I-94. The suspect was identified as a juvenile. He was processed and transported to the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center.

NEWS & NOTES
Camping out
EASTPOINTE — Through different funding sources, eight Eastpointe Community Schools elementary school students got into the spirit of summer by attending Skyline Camp and Retreat Center in Almont July 21-26.
From fishing to archery to swimming to gardening, the students had the chance to participate in all kinds of camping activities. In addition, s’mores, sports, games, farming, berry picking and journaling were among the many other ways campers enjoyed their visit.
“Eastpointe Community Schools, a number of years ago, began offering camperships,” district Superintendent Christina Gibson said at the July 22 Board of Education meeting. Initially, four students, one from each elementary school, were able to attend. The number of students able to go to camp has increased since then.
“Using our Title IV federal funds, we are now offering eight camperships,” Gibson said.
A campership is given to a child or teenager to help with the expenses of attending a summer camp. The district’s school principals nominated the students for the trip.

EASTPOINTE — Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeastern Michigan will have food distribution from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at the Eastpointe Middle School circle drive, 24701 Kelly Road.

Suspect arrested after stolen vehicle runs out of gas
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
EASTPOINTE/HAZEL PARK — A woman stands accused of leading Eastpointe police on a high-speed chase using a stolen vehicle, only for police in Hazel Park to capture her when the car ran out of gas.
The suspect is Ryann Parkes, 34, of Taylor. In 43rd District Court in Hazel Park, Parkes was arraigned by Magistrate Michael Mitchell July 6, where she faced charges of third-degree fleeing a police officer in a vehicle, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison; receiving and concealing stolen property (motor vehicle), a felony punishable by up to five years in prison; driving with a suspended license, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days in jail; as well as driving with a false ID and failure to stop at a property damage accident — both misdemeanors, the first punishable by up to a year in jail and the second punishable by up to 90 days in jail. Her bond there was set at $10,000 cash or surety. Her case was bound over to the Oakland County Circuit Court on July 17, and her arraignment there was scheduled for July 29, after press time.
At press time, Parkes was being held in the Oakland County Jail.
Parkes’ attorney in Oakland County Circuit Court is Kerry O. Phillips. Phillips did not return a request for comment by press time.
Parkes had yet to be arraigned in 38th District Court in Eastpointe at press time. According to 38th District Court records, Parkes will be facing one count of third-degree fleeing a police officer in a vehicle; one count of receiving and concealing stolen property (motor vehicle); one count of malicious destruction of fire or police property, a felony punishable by up to four years in prison; one count of assaulting, resisting, or obstructing a police officer, a felony punishable by up to two years; one count of driving while license suspended; and one count of reckless driving, a misdemeanor punishable by up to 93 days.
According to Eastpointe Police Lt. Alexander Holish, the incident started in Eastpointe during the early hours of July 5 and concluded that night with the suspect’s capture in Hazel Park.
It reportedly was around 7 a.m. when Eastpointe officers first spotted the suspect asleep at the wheel of a gray 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store at Nine Mile and Hayes roads. Police ran a check on the vehicle and saw Taylor police had reported it as stolen.
Officers ordered the suspect to exit the vehicle. That’s when she reportedly put the vehicle in drive and made a sharp turn left, driving toward them, forcing the officers to jump out of harm’s way. The suspect also allegedly struck the front push-bumper of the patrol car before fleeing the scene.
Police pursued her as she allegedly barreled toward Gratiot Avenue, reportedly driving northbound in southbound lanes at speeds exceeding 70 miles per hour. The pursuit was terminated once it reached 10 Mile Road, due to the speed of the chase and the reckless behavior of the driver.
“Pursuit was terminated for the safety of the public, which will always be the priority of the Eastpointe Police Department,” Holish said. “The Eastpointe Police Department will always do everything in our power to minimize the risk presented to innocent drivers, even if we have to temporarily allow the sus-
RETURN
pect to get away. We will continue working on cases like these and will succeed in taking the suspect into custody at a later time.”
Indeed, tips from Eastpointe police alerted Hazel Park police to the suspect vehicle. At around 8 p.m., a patrol officer in Hazel Park observed the car traveling northbound on John R Road from North Chrysler Drive. According to Hazel Park Police Chief William Hamel, officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it accelerated and sideswiped another vehicle while fleeing police. An officer reportedly checked the affected vehicle and found no injuries.
Meanwhile, another officer pursued the suspect onto northbound Interstate 75 to 12 Mile Road and then back on southbound I-75 to Eight Mile Road. That’s when the suspect vehicle allegedly ran out of gas and slowed down. A male passenger jumped out of the vehicle prior to it coming to a stop and surrendered to officers. He has not been charged. The vehicle, meanwhile, coasted to a stop where the female driver was observed smoking a crack pipe and had to be removed from the vehicle before being placed under arrest, according to Hamel.

Baby shower
Booths were set up outside on the Gianna House grounds. Each attendee received a bingo card. As they visited each station, the card was punched. Along with the baby items, information on baby care and other resources were available. At one point, a safe sleep workshop was offered during the event.
Raffles, too, were held to give away car seats, strollers and booster seats. Organizers began planning the event several months ago and received donations from local organizations and businesses. Just over 200 people — many of them young mothers and fathers with their families — registered prior to the event, but walk-in participants also were welcome.
“I’m just excited. I’m just so full,” Early said. “We got volunteers from everywhere, and I can’t believe the response from people in our community.”
Early made it a family affair. Along with her daughter, husband Charles Early Jr., sons Michael Harris and Charles Early III, and several grandchildren were on-site.
Robert Roscoe is the founder of Lift Up A Child, and Edward Williams is founder of Let Me See Your Hands. Roscoe, Williams and Early are all members on the Eastpointe Community Schools Board of Education. Roscoe was touched at how well the community came together for the baby shower.
“This is very dear to my heart,” Roscoe said. “I felt there was a need in the community. To see the community come together and bring this, I feel that is so key. We’re helping each other.”
Gianna House Executive Director Joella Bush would like to see the community baby shower grow every year.
“We’re doing it right in the heart of Eastpointe,” she said. “What better place than a facility that provides love, care and hope?”
Projects

at Pleasantview so the air conditioning will be ready for the 2025-2026 school year. This summer, Pleasantview is receiving new interior doors, door frames, new cabinetry and new sinks, and the classrooms are being painted. At press time, school officials were awaiting the arrival of new desks and chairs for all the K-12 students and staff throughout the district. This excludes the Early Learning Center.
There is one bond project being done this summer. Money from the district’s $36.4 million bond issue that passed at the polls Aug. 8, 2023, is being used to replace the parking lot with asphalt and the sidewalks with concrete at Forest Park. The project is also reconfiguring the parking lot to improve traffic flow, and a new stormwater system is being installed to fix drainage issues.
“The parking lot is all demolished. It’s down to gravel,” said Superintendent Christina Gibson, who added that it should be ready for the new school year.
talks,” Gibson said. “We’re able to spend the money with a certain scope. What we can’t do is add anything new. We can only use the bond dollars on what has been specified.”
There are some projects occurring in Roseville Community Schools as well. Crews just finished fixing electrical wiring in the A wing at Roseville Middle School after a power line broke in the ground over the winter. This summer, some minor parking lot repairs are happening at Eastland Middle School as well as some restriping of parking lots around the district.
Electrical work also is being done to bring in three generators at Roseville Middle School, Eastland Middle School and Roseville High School. According to RCS Director of Buildings and Grounds Joseph Smith, the new generators will be used to operate the freezers and coolers during a power outage.
Detroit resident L. Crawford, with her 9-month-old son, attended the baby shower with a group of friends. She also has two older children.
“I just want to support them and see the resources I need for the baby,” Crawford said. “It’s great. Back when I had my older boys, they didn’t have this for moms. It’s been a wonderful experience.”
Gianna House will hold its 11th annual Sr. Diane Memorial Golf Outing Aug. 19 at Greystone Golf Club in Washington Township. Golfers and sponsors are needed. For more information, visit giannahouse.org or call (586) 445-0440.

School officials are holding off on bond projects at Eastpointe Middle School and Eastpointe High School at this time because the district is in the middle of a facilities master plan and changes are on the way.
The long-term facilities master plan is a blueprint to guide the development and management of the district’s buildings and infrastructure over time. As part of the plan, the district will keep the Early Learning Center as a stand-alone program with a location to be determined and make the four elementary schools grades K-5. In addition, there will be two separate buildings on the same property with one building as a middle school for grades 6-8 and the second building as a high school for grades 9-12.
“We’re not going to use any bond dollars on those buildings until we have more
Roseville also has been updating its technology this summer. School officials are adopting student 1-to-1 in-school iPads for grades K-3, meaning there is an iPad for each student, and laptops for grades 3-12 in classroom sets rather than a 1-to-1 takehome model.
“This newly adopted model will provide students with consistent day-to-day access to computers for instruction. By having the computers available in the classroom, the computers will be charged and will be in working condition for the teachers and their lesson planning,” district Director of Technology Mike Antoine said via email.
The new model had input from staff, student and parent surveys, as well as a district technology committee. A recommendation from the technology committee was presented and approved by the Board of Education earlier this year.
This summer, the student iPads and laptops are being replaced with new ones. School officials are expecting that the approximately 4,000 laptops and 1,800 iPads will be in the classrooms and ready to use in September.

Funding

ment building. The lot is currently vacant.
The engineering firm Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick proposed a new two-story structure on the site. The first floor would be dedicated to the Police Department, and the second would be for the court. Whether or not the new building has a firing range could impact the cost, according to Walton. If the building had a firing range, it would bring the total cost to approximately $17 million. If the building did not have the range, it would cost about $15 million. She said these figures include construction and things inside the building such as furnishings, information technology and alarms.
All the costs are preliminary, and a design would still need to be approved by City Council. Walton said a bond may be needed to pay for the remaining costs. The city is also open to grants to help fund the project.
“It’s at the beginning of the design phase, so we don’t know what it will actually include,” Walton said.
The proposed site would, unlike the previous building, have secure parking for police and court staff, according to Walton.
Walton said the current building was built in the 1950s and the court was added on in the 1990s. She said there are several operational issues in the building including a lack of private meeting space for defendants in the court and sewage leaks in the Police Department.
“The building and the infrastructure of the building is very old and very hard to keep up and maintain based on the length of it,” Walton said.
“It just wasn’t ever equipped to be a district court,” Klinefelt said.
Walton said there will be public meetings announced in the future to provide information and get feedback from the community about the proposed building. She estimated these would happen in August.
Eastpointe is also receiving an additional $3 million for a reconstruction of 10 Mile Road from Hayes Road to Cole Street. Klinefelt said that since it’s a county road, there would be county funds to match it.
“I’m thrilled to death about that because there was a less-expensive option that wouldn’t last as long, and we’ve already been through that with 10 Mile,” Klinefelt said. “This would be a deeper repair, a better repair that would last longer.”
Roseville
Roseville will receive $6.6 million toward a pump station and related projects totaling $12 million.
The cost of the pump station is about $4.5 million, Roseville Controller John Walters said based on an estimate from Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick, the city’s engineering firm.
Roseville Department of Public Services Director Rob DeBruyn said the pump station is getting a complete rebuild.
“These things are old — they’ve basically outlived their life cycle,” he said.
DeBruyn said the station will be transitioning from a wet well to a dry well. He compared the new system to a sump pump.
“Everything comes in an area and is pumped up and out,” DeBruyn said.
Walters said the other part of the funding will go toward fixing a force main and has yet to go out to bid. Walters said the estimated cost of the project is $7.5 million.
DeBruyn said a force main is necessary when the elevation for sewage is not on an incline.
Arrest

Hamel commended the officers for resolving the situation.
“Police officers every day are faced with making split-second decisions to engage in a pursuit of a stolen vehicle and when not to. The officer’s safety and the public safety is placed in jeopardy when criminals elect to flee from police. Technology can only assist so much when apprehending a car thief,” Hamel said via email. “It takes a well-trained officer to apprehend a car thief and prevent another car (owner) from becoming a victim. I’m proud that our officers were able to stop this individual.”
Call Staff Writer Andy Kozlowski at (586) 498-1046.
“When sewage runs level, it needs to be forced,” DeBruyn said.
DeBruyn said this is a preventative measure.
“It’s an old line and we don’t like to wait for emergencies,” he said.
There is also money for road rehabilitation tied to the pump station and force main, according to Walters. He said the difference will likely be made up by the city’s water and sewer fund. Depending on the costs down the road, fees might need to be increased on residents. Though, he did say the city is actively seeking grants to close the $5.4 million gap.
“We’re not going to have to write the checks for another year, so we’ll be able to adjust fees next year if we need to,” he said.
Klinefelt said the project was advocated for by Roseville City Manager Ryan Monroe and other city employees. She said doing the project was preventative and would only become more costly the longer the city waited.

Stolen
from page 5A
Burglary tools were reportedly recovered from the vehicle.
Holish commended the work of the detectives, as well as the undercover agents with the SIU.
“What the SIU does is pretty much handle violent crimes or other high-profile crimes that need extensive investigations,” Holish said. “They’re trained in undercover operations, often in plain clothes and unmarked cars. They’re instrumental in solving many cases.”
He encouraged residents to be vigilant in protecting their vehicles.
“Even though it’s very inconvenient, I recommend steering wheel clubs. Once they’re applied, thieves see them and move on, since it’s very difficult to defeat them and it takes time, and thieves often go for the easy target,” Holish said. “People also got to make sure they lock their vehicles. Unfortunately, many cars that are stolen were left unlocked. And people with push-start vehicles, sometimes they put their keys in the center console or the glove compartment and forget, so when the thief jumps in, they can start it. So always make sure your keys are with you.
“Also try to park in brightly lit areas or in a driveway. Most vehicles that are stolen are usually parked in the streets,” he said. “It’s mostly Kia or Hyundai products being stolen right now, and also SUVs like Trailblazers and Yukons — mostly older models, pre-2010s. But everything is stealable — these are just the trends, since it takes more work to steal newer cars and their equipment.”
No matter the vehicle affected, however, “Eastpointe police takes all crime seriously,” he said.

Splash
from page 1A
Based in Spring Hill, Tennessee, the home has four campuses: Henderson, Clarksville, Spring Hill and Knoxville. The generosity of the Splash for the Kids fundraiser will cross state lines.
“It’s a charity that helps kids and puts them through a Christian education right on their property,” Lafata said. “They help kids that have been in some really bad situations.”
The faith-based organization is dedicated to providing a safe harbor for displaced families and youth. Services offered include residential care, education, counseling, alcohol and drug treatment, in-home care, and spiritual guidance for at-risk youth, victims of abuse and orphaned children. Lafata visits the facility twice a year to distribute clothing, shoes, sporting equipment and more to the kids.
“I like working with the kids to make some kind of difference,” Lafata said.
Last year, representatives of the Tennessee Children’s Home attended the Splash fundraiser. Lafata’s wife, Sarah Lafata, and his mom, Mary Edna Lafata, also help with the fundraising.
This year’s Splash for the Kids is a threeday event set for Aug. 16-18. The fun will begin with a pool party on Friday, a charity poker run Saturday and a raft-off Sunday. The events will take place rain or shine. All boats must be registered and paid for before the date of the event.
The Aug. 16 pool party will begin at
Congrats Graduate Dr. Lance Jones
Oakland University William Beaumont
6 p.m. at the Algonac Harbor Club, 1999 Pointe Tremble Road. Boats can be placed into the well at any time that morning. The event is for anyone who signed up to participate in the poker run.
The poker run, scheduled for Aug. 17, is limited to 60 boats and will begin from the Algonac Harbor Club. A number of destination stops are planned along the way where boaters will pick up envelopes to draw cards. After the run, they will reveal their poker hands, and the three best hands will receive prizes.
Keep your energy up because on Sunday is the raft-off from noon to 4 p.m. on Muscamoot Bay. Disc jockey Marky Giles will provide the music, and Gorilla BBQ will serve lunch. Those interested in the raft-off must be registered as a poker run entry.
Miller is glad to be back for the event again this year.
“I try to help Eric and Sarah. They are the main drivers behind it all. They work tirelessly to pull this off,” said Miller, who does his share by promoting the event, supplying boat hoists and recruiting participants.
He enjoyed being part of last year’s inaugural event.
“It was fun. It was a great turnout with a lot of good people. Everyone was excited to help the cause,” Miller said. “It’s nice to see everyone coming together to help people in those situations. There’s nothing more vulnerable than children.”
